The above article shows that equal parenting as the default presumption in child custody cases is halfway to being a law. The author feels that a similar bill will be passed in the Florida House, where it will await Governor Scott’s signature. This of course is extremely important because Florida is now the third most populous state.

I am a registered independent because I believe that equal child custody should never be a partisan (or a gender issue, for that matter) However, one can’t help but see that the two advocates for the bill are Republicans (and both men), while the one opponent cited is a female Democrat.

As noted in my previous blogs, two of the biggest impediments to a legal presumption of equal parenting are trial lawyers (who profit handsomely in the current adversarial system, and the media, who normally ignore international events, but when it comes to child custody it’s the ONLY cases they cover (see Elian Gonzales/Cuba and the Goldman/Brazil case).

Speaking of the Democrats, a recent Wall Street Journal cover story showed that Hillary Clinton received three times as much money from attorneys as she did from financial firms/investment banks, her second most lucrative source of funds. Interesting that the media repeats ad nauseum the link between Wall Street and politicians while totally ignoring what politicians are doing for trial attorneys. Even more interesting when many of the latter are working hard, and being extremely well paid, for keeping parents from their children around the nation.

From what I have seen the only thing the Democrats really say is that somehow this is horrible for women. I have also seen very sexist comments by Democrats like dads just want equal placement to get out of paying child support. That can be debunked with 2nd grade math, and is so offensive, and sexist. Why is parent equality horrible for women, or hatful towards women? Isn’t this about the kids? And how can Democrats get by with statements that are so sexist?
